The next time you go to dinner at a fancy restaurant you might spot a chilled-out lobster hanging out in the seafood tank.

While most of us would like to believe lobsters don't feel pain when we boil them alive for dinner, one restaurateur wants to find a more peaceful end for the tasty crustaceans.

Maine-based seafood restaurant Charlotte's Legendary Lobster Pound in Southwest Harbor is experimenting with cannabis to sedate lobsters before they're killed. Restaurant owner Charlotte Gill placed a test lobster she named Roscoe into a covered box with water at the bottom. She then had marijuana smoke blown into the box for Roscoe to inhale.

Later, Gill removed the bands on Roscoe's claws, and the lobster was allowed to roam free in the tank for nearly three weeks without any incidents of aggression.

Though Gill is experimenting with the idea of selling lobsters relaxed by pot, she does emphasize that the creatures are not considered cannabis edibles.

"THC breaks down completely by 392 degrees, therefore we will use both steam as well as a heat process that will expose the meat to a 420-degree extended temperature, in order to ensure there is no possibility of carryover effect," Gill said.

Here's hoping lobsters everywhere get one last toke before they hit our dinner plates.
